Thank you, Sean. Good morning, everyone. During the quarter, we continue to execute on our core initiatives to generate growth within our existing vendor base. while adding new innovative vendors to our line card. This led to another period of double digit growth to the top line in our ninth consecutive quarter of profitability improvement. In addition, throughout the quarter, we made strategic investments in our operating systems, new personnel, sales territory expansion, and training and development programs to reinforce our foundation. With a clean and efficient infrastructure and continuous focus on strengthening our line card, we are well positioned to continue our plans for growth and profitability as we scale our global footprint. We are committed to a focused line card, which enables us to partner with the most strategic and cutting edge technology vendors in the market. Out of the 38 brands we evaluated through the second quarter, we signed agreements with only four of them. Quickly touching on a few of our latest wins. First, we partnered with Jamf, a publicly traded company that provides end-to-end systems management and security solutions for an Apple first environment that is enterprise secure, consumer simple, and protects personal privacy. Next, we finalized our agreement with Offensive Security, a leading provider of professional workforce development training and support cybersecurity. Offensive Security will be a viable cross-sell within our security offerings, which is one of our fastest growing segments of our business. And finally, we signed GitLab to our line card, the most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps platform in the world. We look forward to building a prosperous relationship with each of these vendors as we take their products to market. In addition to our vendor wins, in April, we entered into a strategic partnership with another distributor called Radius. This unique partnership enabled us to leverage the Radius line card for direct sales in other markets while providing them with an infrastructure to transact. In particular, excuse me, Radius has a strong vendor relationship with Tanium, a cybersecurity and systems management company which has been a consistent winner in the market with a commitment to selling through the distribution channel. Drew will expand on the mechanics of this partnership later in the call. In late May, we announced our inclusion into the Russell 3000 Index, which became effective on June 26th. This achievement is a testament to the dedication and consistent execution of our entire global employee network, as well as our outstanding customers and vendors. We celebrate this milestone by ringing in the new NASDAQ closing bell in Manhattan a few weeks ago. I couldn't be prouder of the team we've built and look forward to achieving even greater success in the years ahead. As we enter the back half of the year, we have a solid foundation in place to continue driving organic growth with existing vendors while adding new, innovative vendors to our line card. We will also continue to evaluate M&A opportunities that can enhance our service and solutions as well as our geographic footprint. These initiatives, coupled with a robust balance sheet, will enable us to execute organic and inorganic growth and profitability objectives in 2023. With that, I will turn the call over to our CFO, Drew Clark, to take you through the financial results. Drew?
